Left 4 Dead Survival Pack Has Arrived

The moment you've all been waiting for -- assuming you like playing Left 4 Dead -- is nearly here. Today at around 2 a.m. PST, Valve Software will release its first downloadable content pack for Left 4 Dead via Xbox Live. The Survival Pack will also come out on PC today. We reported last week about some of the new features that the free-to-own DLC will bring to the game, chiefly the all-new survival gameplay mode.

The Left 4 Dead Survival Pack will be released via Xbox Live at roughly 2 am PST on April 21. The DLC is free to all owners of Left 4 Dead and introduces a new multiplayer game mode entitled, Survival, plus two complete campaigns for Versus Mode. The PC version of the DLC is targeted for release later in the day. For more information, please visit www.l4d.com.

We're expecting to be knee-deep in the dead all over again so be sure to stick with GameSpy for some hands-on, updated impressions of the survival pack just as soon as we can pry ourselves away from the safe house.

Update: Major Nelson has confirmed that the Xbox 360 DLC pack is now up on Xbox Live.

Gimme four, bro.

Bryn says: Yee-haw. It's time to load up on ammo and take down those chumpy infected all over again. I'm half-debating whether or not to finally buy the PC version of the game and give it a go there. With the new SDKs releasing too there's bound to be some great user-generated content cropping up soon.

Then again, there's something to be said for playing the game as Valve intended, too.
